Then I shook my Clorox Gel Bleach Pen, squirted some out onto the paper palette and began. I placed the dauber in the gel bleach, daubed off the excess and pounced straight up and down through the stencils.

I really like the thicker consistency of the gel bleach – the consistency is more like paint

(which is what I’m accustomed to stenciling with).

I also like that the gel bleach reacts more slowly that liquid bleach.

I didn’t feel rushed at all during this entire process.

When the bandanas were bleached to my liking, I carefully removed the bandanas from the envelopes and washed the bandanas in the washing machine as directed again.

Have fun combining stencil designs like we did for one of Bruno's favorite neighbors, Sarah:

·Try washing and drying your fabric again (without a dryer sheet) to remove any remaining fabric sizing.·Make sure to shake your Clorox Gel Bleach Pen before using.·Be sure you’ve purchased your Clorox Gel Bleach Pen within the last 6 months. Bleach does have a shelf life I learned.·And if you do get a few random dots of bleach on your fabric where you didn’t plan, don’t stress… it will still look cool!

I had lot of fun making these! And it didn’t take long at all!I felt like I was breaking the rules…taking away color instead of adding it…and that made it all the more fun!
